Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1137/879/D=10/1434) You will have to pay 2.5% zakah on the money which is deposited somewhere or invested in business after completing one year. And if the profits which are received are saved in form of cash then you will have to pay its zakah as well, but if they are spent then obviously there is no zakah on it.
